- Nexus Celebration Mall
Alright, picture this: the first mega mall in Udaipur dressed up in full royal Rajasthani drama. Nexus Celebration is a mashup of ancient palace vibes (think sandstone walls, fountains, the works) and a modern mall’s chaos—Adidas, Levi’s, Reliance Digital, Body Shop, all the usual suspects. It popped up around 2010-ish, and honestly, you can’t miss it if you’re cruising down NH-8.
Entertainment? Everything from PVR for your movie fix, to wild stuff like Hungama 5D and the Time Zone arcade for unleashing your inner kid.
Food’s kind of a big deal too: McDonald’s, KFC, Barbeque Nation, and a bunch of other joints, both fast and sit-down.
Perks? Multi-level parking (which, trust me, is a lifesaver), glitzy festival décor, and you’re right in the centre of the action.
2. Lake City Mall
This one’s over in Ashok Nagar/University Road—super easy to get to, and it’s all glassy and modern. The coolest bit? There’s a rooftop restaurant with legit views of Udaipur. You end up feeling fancy even if you’re just munching on fries.
Brands? Yep: Reliance, Woodland, Metro, and a few local boutiques thrown in for good measure.
Hit up the INOX cinema for the latest flick, or waste a few hours at the Viking gaming zone. If you’re planning a party or a wedding, they’ve got banquet halls too.
Hungry? KFC, Pizza Hut, and a whole food court—plus that rooftop spot.
Oh, and if you’re too full to move, the Radisson Green hotel’s attached, so crash there and call it a holiday.
3. R Kay Mall
OG mall of Udaipur, right here. Opened in 2013 near Sukhadia Circle and Panchwati, and it’s still going strong.
Shops? Westside, FabIndia, Bata, Raymond, Big Bazaar—the kind of places you go for a wardrobe refresh without breaking the bank.
Entertainment: There’s this OMG gaming zone, a bookstore (twice, apparently?), and a multiplex if you get bored of shopping.
Food scene’s solid—think Indian, global, whatever you’re craving.
It’s got that old-school charm ‘cause it was the first, but honestly, the location is unbeatable if you’re in the city centre.
4. Urban Square Mall
This new kid in Udyog Vihar, Sukher, is huge—opened around 2019 and already pulling crowds.
The stores are big names: Zara, Tommy Hilfiger, Jack & Jones, a bunch more.
For fun, there’s everything—multiplex cinema, VR zones, family play areas, and they throw seasonal events, so there’s always something random and cool happening.
The whole place feels super spacious and modern, with events and promos all the time.
Hungry? You’ve got fast food, multi-cuisine restaurants, and cafes, and they’re always hosting food events or pop-ups.
5. Arvana (Arvana Shopping Mall)
Find this one on University Road/Hathipole. It’s got a slick design and a soft spot for local crafts—launched in 2010, then got a facelift after 2016.
Best bit? There’s a whole floor just for Rajasthani handicrafts, plus a rooftop dining area with epic Lake Pichola and City Palace views.
Shopping? Shoppers Stop, Lifestyle, FabIndia, H&M, Sephora, Zara… It’s got all the usual mall suspects.
Entertainment’s more chill—gaming zones for the kids (or adults, no judgment) and cultural events in the big open atrium.
It’s a breeze to get around, especially if you want a little local flavor mixed into your shopping spree.
